Having a busy life I find saving a draft the perfect way to continue with a picture another time BUT having saved a nearly finished draft I have just opened it to find not all of it had saved! Very disappointing as I will have to redo the last few hours work and was really pleased how it was coming along. Is there any way of knowing in future when it is not wise to save a draft because not all of it will be saved? Has anyone else experienced this problem? |

When I'm in the point of save or submit a draft, I check the net connection before, and check the TD site is working, by clicking on another TD link page (I usually have many pages open on my desktop). This saved me to click the button "save" when the net isn't working well, with disastrous results... |

Thanks clorophilla, I've not had a problem saving a draft just saving all the draft. It is like TD is only able to save, say, 200 palet pieces and no more. have you experienced this? |

Personally didn't; but you can ask to Inked_gemini that's one of the most gifted artists on TD but very able to make the system tilt for too pieces... it's the nightmare of playback - often impossible to see the PB of Inked's pics and may be he experimented something similar to you. |

Sorry Inked - I wrote "he" but I suspect you are a "she"! |

No apologies necessary clor; I am a ‘she’ however. As far as saving a draft, I have had that problem in the past. It didn’t happen all the time, but occasionally I would save a draft, and, when I would reload it, not all of the picture would load. This happened to me once or twice maybe. But it has not happened to me at all in recent months, and I have saved drafts with a pretty heavy pixel count. I saved a draft of my Santa Claus, and I remember crossing my fingers when I hit the ‘load draft’ button, wondering if it would load the large amount of work I had already put into it. Thankfully it did without any problems. |

Thank you clorophilla for showing me chompersaurus's picture. What an incredible amount of pieces they used. Thanks too Inked-gemini, I have always been impressed with your work which take so many pieces. I am very suprised you've not had many problems saving pieces but as you say maybe it is because of the pallet I'm using. I have sent a message to Rachel about this. It is disappointing as I'd saved a much nicer Mona than the one I had to redo to enter. Never mind, i'm sure these kind of things happen to us all in someway. Thanks for taking the trouble to answer and I hope to see more of your wonderful art on here when you feel inspired! Chrissy |

I also have no advice than crossing fingers when you save a draft... |

That is such a sad and painful story. Because so much feeling is involved in creating a picture it evolves and becomes real, and part of us. To lose it is very hard and for a while feels almost like taking a part of us, the emotion that we have invested in it is gone... And for you it took a wonderful memory of your beloved cat. If leaving the computer on to finish a draft isn't the answer and saving a fairly full picture isn't the answer I guess we just have to allow enough time to finish it in one go. I think this is why i don't do many complicated, time consuming drawings. TD is however great for many different kinds of drawings and the main thing is to enjoy and have fun. Who really cares if a quick, fun drawing only gets 2 votes? |
